Electrical and Structural Requirements (Continued)
Brace use (Figure 3)
Paired with a deep box, this hanger is meant to span
between two joists and takes the place of wooden
blocking.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal
injury, mount to outlet box marked acceptable for fan
support of 15.9 kg (35 lbs) or less and use mounting
screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet
boxes commonly used for the support of luminaires
are not acceptable for fan support and may need to
be replaced, consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
If your fan is to replace an existing light fixture, turn
electricity off at the main fuse box at this time and
remove the existing light fixture.
WARNING
Turning off wall switch is not sufficient. To avoid
possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned
off at the main fuse box before wiring. All wiring must
be in accordance with National and Local codes and
the ceiling fan must be properly grounded as a
precaution against possible electrical shock.
WARNING
To avoid fire or shock, follow all wiring instructions
carefully. Any electrical work not described in these
instructions should be done or approved by a
licensed electrician.
WARNING
Do not operate this fan with a variable (Rheostat) wall
controller or dimmer switch. Doing so could result in
damage to the ceiling fan's remote control unit.
